DAILY HERALD,
THE FESTIVAL.
A Larger Attendance than Ever
Last Night.

ALarger Attendance than Eve
Last Night.
The attendance at the Festival of tn
Dairy Maids increases at each evening
and last night the Pavilion was file,
from the top of the highest balcony t.
the stage. The reserved seats were al
taken, and during the evening thos,
occupying them hardly ever left them
Notwithstanding this fact, the different
places where refreshments were to bt
found were better patronized than on
previous evenings. The fountain on the
main floor played continuously through
out the evening on the ferns and flowers
beneath, and the spray aided in purify
ing the air. The portions of the floor
under each balcony at the sides, where
lunches, ice-cream and delicacies were
served and the fair mattresses were kept
busy in attending to the wants of the many
customers. During the intervals be
tween the stage performances the band
furnished excellent music, to which
those on the A00r promenaded, visiting
first one attraction and then another. A
continuous assemblage surrounded the
cave where the fortune tellers were
kept busy in solving the future lives of
those who desired, and popcorn balls, at
the other end of the auditorium, were
given out with q freedom which was
only tqualed by the generosity with
which the lemonade from the well and

distributed among the thirsty. The
stage performance seems TO be growing
more in favor each evening, and the va
riety of selections is certainly great. The
whole reflects great deal of credit on the
various ladies who have worked so hard
to bring the choruses and tableaux to
perfection. The stage setting has been
appropriate from the first, and the par
ticipants are becoming accustomed to
the footlights. Too much cannot be
said of the illusions wrought by Mr..
John w. sherman. These wonderful
effects have since the opening night been
received with a great deal of applause,
and praise is heard on all sides. The |
effect produced by means of MIR. Sher- |
mans invention is really wonderful. |
The appearance and disappearance on
the stage of one or two persons at the |
same time is almost inexplicable, and the /
interest taken in these portions of the
programme attests their merit. MIR. |
Sherman has labored faithfully and hard
ever since the festival commenced, and
to his efforts and invention is due a
large portion of the success OF the
season.
